Our Reviews

  • positive review  A huge THANK YOU to all of the many volunteers, who made it possible for us to adopt our new family member. The screening process was clearly explained, and much info was provided with the fur baby we chose. Maddie is extremely well behaved, playful, asks to go out, and curious about anything and everything - as a 4 1/2 month old puppy. Right from the start, she had no signs of stress or behavioral problems of any kind. I think this is due to the great care/love that RHR and the foster family took with Maddie, in the week before she become an important part of our family. We love Maddie and really appreciate the great work that RHR does. This rescue was suggested to us by multiple friends, and I have to agree that they are fantastic. Highly recommended!

  • positive review  We adopted Mr. Ozzy on Sept. 14th from Rhode Home Rescue & could not be happier with our experience! First off, Ozzy is the best little addition to our family, he is the sweetest most calm tempered pup I have ever met! All he wants to do is sleep and cuddle! Roo, the amazing volunteer I worked with was there every step of the way to answer any questions or concerns we had throughout the process. Everyone was well organized and so empathetic to us as new adopters and gave us as many resources and tools we needed for the adoption and adjustment process to be successful which I was so impressed with! I am still in contact with Roo, she checks in every so often to make sure things are going well and everyone is happy and adjusting well. This rescue really puts in the time and effort it takes for a successful adoption between adopters and adoptees. We are so lucky that Ozzy came into our lives and the friends from Rhode Home Rescue we made along the way! Thank you Rhode Home Rescue!!

  • I highly recommend Rhode Home Rescue for adopting an animal. It was a very pleasant experience adopting from this organization. The volunteers where amazing. I also love that these animal do not sit in a shelter, what I saw at our local animal shelter was abuse. The animals may go outside 8 hours a week if they have a volunteer to take them out. It’s not guaranteed they even go outside. They sit in what I call a jail cell while it takes months for them to make a decision on who they allow to adopt them. Shelters like our local one needs to take some training from Rhode Home Rescue instead of their terrible egotistical practices. Save yourself time and energy and just apply with Rhode Home Rescue.
